Biography
Furio Giunta was born in Naples, Italy in 1965, and he worked for Camorra boss Annalisa Zucca before, in 2000, Tony Soprano convinced Zucca to let Giunta return to the United States with him to take part in an international car theft operation. Soprano saw that Giunta had absolutely no inhibitions and a merciless wrath embedded by a sincere loyalty to his new boss. Giunta became one of Soprano's most feared enforcers, intimidating and beating up multiple people who owed him money as well as acting as Soprano's driver and bodyguard. Giunta acquired a visa while working as a mozzarella maker at Artie Bucco's Nuovo Vesuvio restaurant, with Soprano paying his salary. In 2001, he was shot in the leg during Jackie Aprile Jr.'s robbery of Ralph Cifaretto's card game, and he used a cane before recovering several months later. Giunta would soon develop romantic feelings for his boss' wife Carmela, and the two fell in love, although they were never able to consummate their relationship. Giunta's uncle advised him to kill his boss so that he could continue his affair with his wife; Giunta grew to hate his boss for his infidelity. On one occasion, Giunta nearly killed Soprano, grabbing him in front of his helicopter and planning to throw him into the rotor. However, Giunta decided against it, and a drunken Soprano did not remember the incident. When Giunta's father died, Giunta returned to Italy for the funeral, and he intended to stay there to evade Soprano's fury. When Carmela Soprano told Tony of the way that she felt about Furio, Tony Soprano sent men to Italy to kill his former soldier for having an affair with his wife.
